Binary stellar evolution
- Mass transfer before the Common Envelope (CE) onset
Dynamical pre-CE mass loss
- Simulations, observations vs theory for CE transients
Dynamical CE ejection
- Observations (transients), lightcurve models, simulations, physics..
Post CE evolution
- Short timescales: dust formation in the ejecta and ejecta geometry
- Long timescales: outflows, remnants and post-CE binaries, second generation planets
Population Constraints on CE
- Physics-focused/Progenitor-focussed
These topics will be further developed with the guidance of discussion leaders with expertise in this field:
- Orsola De Marco (Macquarie University)
- Natasha Ivanova (University of Alberta)
- Ondrej Pejcha (Charles University)
